She found him leaning on a tree trunk looking at the moon, he was looking heavenly his arms crossed as if hugging himself, one leg resting on the trunk and other straight,

she slowly came near him he noticed her arrival, her anklets were betraying her.

She sighed and inhaled the night air, it was slight cold she draped her veil around her; he just looked at her movements and smiled when she looked at him.

M: not feeling comfortable inside

G: umm

M: why?

G: smiled

M: Rajji likes to party and you don't, strange!

G: you were also not quite comfortable, let me correct you did

not want to attend it on the first place

M: so

G: your brothers seem to enjoy it

Both looked at each other and laughed

M: so I am Maan

G: and I am Geet

M: am your cousin's friend, doing my MBA

G: I am your friend's cousin, just gave my final yr B.com exam

M: I like reading books, and you seem to like them also

G: yes, I do, I like sketching, and you seem to like it also

M: yes, I do, I adore Fletcher, and you too

G: yes, I do, I don't like parties and you too seem to not like

them

M: yes, I do, so we have a lot in common, does it conclude that

we can be friends

G: friends, looks like a good idea

Both shook hands and again laugh

Dadi witnesses them and has a tear in her eye, she turns to find NT wiping her eyes, and both ladies hug each other,

DM: so NT, do you approve her as your sister in law

NT: yes, I do, do you approve her as your daughter in law

DM: yes, I do, and both laugh silently not wanting Maan Geet to know that they witnessed them

It started drizzling, NT was about to call them but DM held her hand and pointed NO on noticing Maan taking Geet to the out house,

the two ladies went inside letting the newly found friendship to blossom

Maan took the key from his purse and opened the door and let her in, he switched on the lights, and the house was clean and tidy.

She wondered if some one lives here, it seemed quite occupied, he sensed her doubt.

M: no one lives here, it's sort of my work place, and I come here daily

G: work place, it seems like some studio

M: yes sort of, that room there is the dark room where I develop the photos

G: interesting, and all this, noticing a room with blue print every where

M: these are the prints of the projects that have been done by KC, plus on going projects and also the up coming ones

G: you seem to take quite interest in the business

M: no, I am not interested in business; I just like to be informed

G: so Mr. informed what about this room? It seems to be a drawing area, where one develops designs

M: yes, I some times .... sort of ...... try my hand in improvising the designs, just to help NT

G: NT

M: yes, oh you might not be knowing she is our I mean KC's main Architect

G: so just help

M: yes

G: and this is computer room,

M; yes, the work has to transferred to it for easy working and detailing

G: all these are data backups

M: yes, you are quite observant

G: observing things around is my another hobby

M gives her a coffee mug: Coffee,

G smells: freshly brewed

M: yes, you like it?

G: yes, thank you

Both stood there sipping there coffee, mins went by none talked. Just to break the silence she asked

G: Maan, why don't you like parties?

M: just like that

G: no Maan, there has to be some reason, I noticed you were avoiding your father

M: may be,

G: Maan, you know, in those specs of yours, which you, I am sure, use to hide your eyes, I mean now that you don't have them on to cover them, you can't hide that you are lying

M: I am not lying

G: Maan, you just said we are friends, so why hide your grieves

M: stop it Geet, we became friends just now, and you want me to confide in you, can you confide in me?

G: yes, I can, you know, you might say you have a lot of friends but I have none, you are my first friend

M: what? And can I ask you why you don't have any?

G: of course

M: then tell

G: as a child I had a very high degree of squint in my eyes, so high that I seemed to look like mentally insane,

though I was academically very sound, always came 1st in my class, but (rubbed her head) no one came near me,

no body played with me, I was often insulted by the children,

later when I was 8 I was operated and the error was corrected, but due to lack of exercise and also due to my growing age, it returned by the time I was 11,

I again had to go through the torture, in one of the parties at our house I was severely bullied by few children,

I was on fever for 5 days, since then I avoid attending any parties and even don't talk to any one,

I am also till date afraid to face strangers and even get nervous when questioned by unknown people,

( untangles her hair) when I was 16 I was again operated, since then I religiously follow doctors instructions , and since then it has not resurfaced,

but one never knows, it has only been 4 yrs, it may resurface as last time, so,

and yes one more thing I always wanted to do Architecture I even scored good rank in the entrance exam but

when I came to know that there were 10 semesters and in each semester one has to face 5 external viva 's I quitted

and opted for this course as it has minimum viva only one,

So that's all

M: I never thought one has o face so much for something that is not in ones hands, this world is ridiculous

G: now it's your chance Maan

M also told her everything, he kept nothing back,

M: so I too wanted to do Architecture and join the KC, but not ever I will do that, after my MBA I will secure a good job and leave this place, I don't want my eyes or my presence to torture any one

G: Maan you are really stupid

M: stupid, how?

G: first thing, I don't know how your Maa looked like but one thing is sure your eyes have the same twinkle and something that I can't place, like your grandfather,

M: what? And where have you seen him

G: of course the portrait that adorns the Living room wall, when I first saw your eyes I just remembered the portrait

M: you are joking

G: no, I am not, when you entered the hall, I noticed your papa, he looked at you then to the portrait, and his eyes just spoke how amazed he was, how mesmerized he was by the similarity, even your DM had done the same

M: what ever you are saying is it true?

G: why will I lie?

M: ok but I am not buying your explanation

G: don't

He was lost somewhere

G: Maan, I am feeling hungry

M who was still lost: what?

G: shall we go to the Mansion? I am hungry plus my family might be looking for me, they most probably be thinking that I went back to the room, still
